  • a light-receiver arranged around the LED and the LD obtains optical signals modulated by the object OBJ, e.g., PPG signals or skin surface pulse waves, with the delay time. That is, the light-receiver arranged around the LED and the LD detects optical signals having the delay time according to the time-delayed driving of the LED and the LD.
